Website

What it is

A web analytics service that counts page views, referrers, goals and conversions without cookies or storing personal data, using a small tracking script. Stats appear on a single dashboard with real-time traffic, email or Slack reports, shareable links, a stats API and Google Search Console integration. Site owners can use the paid cloud or run the Community Edition on their own server, and can import historical Google Analytics data when moving over.
